Ahm, zmd.exe? ZenUpdater.exe? You are kidding, right?
Wow. We must do a really good job if everything you have to complain about are file suffixes ;-)
not sure .. currently, yast software installation is broken (again) because libblocxx.so.4 is gone ..
Hehe there you go. I knew it! We are not perfect. Damn! ;-)
However, once, Borland decided to drop Kylix and went the .net way. That was the point, where I stopped buying Borland products. Now suse is going the .net way and guess what? I won't buy any suse product anymore ..
Why would you do that? I understand you dont like .net. What makes you say that "suse is going the .net way"? Because one functionality of a gazillion functionalities in SUSE products is implemented in C#/mono? I for instance dont like java. Do i use OpenOffice? Sure i do. I dont like c++, do i use kopete? Yes i do. I dont like perl. Do i use ripit? I do.
Like Azerion also stated, "exe is related to windows/virus in my mind" and, even worse, it's related to mici-schrott, so ..
You must have better reasons to not like something. Otherwise its a rather dull statement that you hate microsoft. I like that from a emotional perspective. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. We against them. Youre my brother in arms. We will overthrow the big evil. But from a rational point of view its a poor argument to base technical decisions on.
Anyway, what's the point in using .net software? I must admit, that I don't know much about it, because when it popped up, it was called "microsoft.net" which convinced me that it couldn't be good ..
The points are layed out at mono-project.com. Do you have to agree with them? No! Do you have to like them? No! Do you have to support them? No! Do you have to accept that its there and that other people agree, like, support mono? Yes, im sorry, you have to. Its their choice :)
The SL 10.1 distribution will use rpm-md+ repositories I have just heard, so smart (?) yum (?) will work fine too for updating 10.1. (This is not finalized yet.)
